The SITE data base, the source of population and agricultural data for the CRRIS, has sufficiently coarse resolution that population dose and risk assessments for ANEMOS runs can be more than an order-of-magnitude in error. A new data base has been developed with population resolution on the scale of US Census enumeration districts. This data base incorporates county-level agricultural data that is distributed to the ed based on the estimated fraction of rural-farm population in each ed. Three computer codes are used to read the new data base and write a file that can be read by the CRRIS codes. These codes and their use are documented here. 10 refs., 4 figs., 5 tabs.
